the newest version of flash makes this notebook run online video much better! still wont do hd for beans but reg hulu runs great!
I am still using this notebook and it runs ok (still on xp) windows 7 still runs like crap on it, so im not gonna bother with it.

Not bad... not good either

I bought this figuring it would be the best mini notebook out there (i have owned several now) and i was quite simply wrong. The ion infused notebooks can do everything this one can and more. It does not stream media well. It was a big letdown on that. Now i should note that i am using windows xp, not vista, or win 7 on this. Maybe one of them takes better advantage of the video card. Xp does not. It plays world of warcraft at medium spec well (about 28-30 fps) and older games like counter strike and their ilk at full tick max everything. In fact i am writing this review on it. Where i also have problems is the software for the on off of the video card and the wireless on off. The software keeps messing up and i have to continually re-install, disable, reboot. Its really buggy and annoying. The web cam is upside down for some odd reason and i gave up on fixing it (as i never use it).
So basically if all you want this for is gaming, its not bad and can be had on ebay for around 400-500. But if you want it for streaming media, forget about it. Yes it has hdmi, but you cant use it for anything!
Soon as the ipad (i hate that name) comes out , this laptop will be on ebay.
